History of SEAPJ

Prix Jeunesse International’s festival and project coordinator, Ms. Kirsten Schneid, came all the way from Munich, Germany to hold her talk session “Prix Jeunesse Suitcase” on the first day of the 2nd Southeast Asia Video Festival for Children.

Acclaimed film director Livi Zheng discussed “How to be a Successful Video Director” in her workshop at the 2nd Southeast Asia Video Festival for Children. Ms. Livi started her workshop by showcasing some of her short films and trailers to the Southeast Asian children.

The opening ceremony of the Southeast Asia Video Festival for Children commenced on the morning of November 22, 2018. Boy scouts parading the flags of the ten ASEAN countries marked the beginning of the program.

SEA Prix Jeunesse 2017

The first Southeast Asia Prix Jeunesse was inspired by the events at the biennial festival Prix Jeunesse International held in Munich, Germany in May 2016, which is the main activity of the Prix Jeunesse Foundation.

The Prix Jeunesse Foundation is known internationally for advocating excellence in children’s television. Since its establishment in Germany in 1964, it has been promoting, celebrating and honoring the highest quality in youth and children’s television.

Noting the scant representation of Southeast Asia in the festival, and recognizing that the SEA region, which has a vast young population, stands to benefit greatly from such a project, Anak TV Inc., through its president, proposed the first Southeast Asia Prix Jeunesse, for the ten countries of the region – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam.
